2018 SESSION
HB 949 Firearms; transfer, criminal history record check delay.
Introduced by: Alfonso H. Lopez | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Transfer of firearms; criminal history record check delay; penalty. Increases from the end of the next business day to within five business days the time in which State Police must advise a dealer if its records indicate that a firearms buyer or transferee is prohibited from possessing or transporting a firearm and the time after which a dealer may complete the sale or transfer without a response from the State Police. The bill removes the option in current law that a dealer may immediately complete the sale or transfer if he is advised by the State Police that a response will not be available within the required timeframe.
